Joy

The kid has done it again. Jess now has her first solo exhibit in a real live gallery. The Stacks Gallery in the Carnegie Arts Center will show Jess' photography exhibit, "A Certain Joy" from July 17 through August 28. If you're in Leavenworth stop in! If you're not in Leavenworth, drive! The artist's/opening reception is Friday the 17th, from 6 to 8 p.m.

Hope to see you there!

Today's post just has to be a brag instead of a nag. My beautiful brilliant daughter Jess is one of 34 students chosen to show in the Kansas City Artists Coalition's Undergraduate College Student Exhibition, a juried show that opens next Friday, April 10th. YAY JESS! Here's a sneak preview of her work. I just love this shot. For more info visit http://www.kansascityartistscoalition.org/

Jess also took the photo in my previous post, which just screams Spring is Here!

More than a few people have commented over the last few years that it is crazy for anyone to go to college to study art, and asked me how I could not only allow, but encourage this. I can and I do because it's a very smart and brave person who lives who they really are.
